saw the illusionist the other day, fell asleep half way through, resumed the following day. if you have problems with silent films or animated films, this probably isn't your cup of tea. it isn't completely silent, but mostly yes. it's about a parisian magician in probably the late '50's who has to travel to obscure locations to get gigs. he's always getting upstaged by some grander act, rock-n-roll, light bulbs. he meets a girl at a gig in scotland, he's in his 60's and she maybe 20. she believes his magic is real and he takes her in as his maid/ daughter figure. it's a heartbreaking story, but the imagery on film is the real magic. it's animated, but i want to go to scotland. beautifully done. the more i think about it, the more i love it. i recommend

observe and report. i like seth rogan. i didn't really care for this movie. i have an extremely hard time laughing at any comedy nowadays. the only saving grace in this movie was when seth rogan stops caring about his job through the guidance of his subordinate. i also liked the casual courtship of the coffee lady.
